Hello dear fellow networkers,

I'm trying a ndmp recover from networker backup server CC. The branch of files 
was backuped from a netapp filer AA and should be on netapp filer BB. The 
manual says for the normal recover which allows interactive mode

 -c client                                                   
      Client is the name of the machine that saved the files.
      When  browsing  a  directory  that was saved by another
      client, the pathnames will reflect the file tree of the
      client  that  saved  the  files.   By  default save and
      recover determine the client name from  the  filesystem
      table.  This option might be necessary if the -L option
      was used on the save command.  This  option  cannot  be
      used  in  conjunction with the -S ssid option (save set
      recover mode).                                         

 -R recover-target                                           
      Specifies the name of the remote machine to direct  the
      recovery.   This  is  used  in  conjunction with the -c
      option to specify browsing of another  client's  index.
      When  the  -R  option  is used, either the -f or the -i
      option must also be specified in order to instruct  the
      recover  target what to do when it is recovering exist-
      ing files.  Note that the values 'N', 'Y', and 'R'  are
      the  only  valid  ones  to  use  with the -i option for
      directed recovers. Note also that the -a option is  not
      supported with the -R option.                          

The command I tried is:

sun4us-CC(root) # recover -i R -R BB -c AA 

[...]

nsrndmp_recover does not allow an interactive mode, there need to be a 
different path specified for the recover, e.g.

source filer: /vol/AA1/AA2/AA3/AA4/AA5/AA6
destination filer: /vol/BB1/BB2/BB3/BB4/BB5/BB6/BB7/BB8

Has anyone of you experiences or suggestions how to get the desired recover?

     Freundliche Grüße  / Kind regards
